Air Plants – Have you heard of them?
We are certain that you have seen these funny looking plants
at the grocery store or garden center that look like they are flying on the
air. Well, if you are wondering what
those actually are then let us explain.
Air plants are plants that can grow without potting soil. The are tropical and won’t survive in
freezing temperatures, so you will usually see them as potted houseplants.

An air plant will anchor its’ roots onto a tree or
shrub without harming them. They absorb
moisture and nutrients from the air through their leaves. This makes them easy to grow indoors. You can grow them in a terrarium, on wire
frames, or small tiny mini pots. There
flexibility makes them a fun and creative way to add a touch of green to any
room.

Potted air plants come in a large variety of leaf shapes and
styles. They are very forgiving of
neglect so kids and college students tend to love them even more. Air plants love sunlight but can survive in
fluorescent light also. There are a
couple of ways to water a potted air plant but we think the easiest is to mist
them several times a week.

Air plants require easy maintenance. Remove discolored leaves at the base, no
fertilizing is necessary and all you need to do is mist occasionally. How much easier can it get?
